All aboard! Former Canadiens greats have fond memories of riding the rails (Montreal Gazette)
From The Montreal Gazette:
By Red Fisher
"The Neville car sits there among the old, iron horses, looking tired and almost forlorn at the Canadian Railway Museum. Several Montreal streetcars from the long-ago past are there, as well. You can be sure that oldtimers will remember the open-air car, once bright and golden when it rumbled along Park Ave., but now marked ever-so-slightly with age".
"Ah, the Neville: what stories it could tell. It was as if the voices still could be heard when I visited it recently along with Henri Richard, Phil Goyette and Dollard St. Laurent when the great Canadiens teams of the 1950s travelled on it to several of the NHL's Original Six cities. Réjean Houle was another visitor".
